2019 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. The Stage 1 assessment reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage code, with extensive damage to the hood, front bumper, grille, left headlamp area, and left front fender. Salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The hood has multiple deep creases and broad buckled areas across the front and left sections, with irregular gaps along the front edge. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are severely broken, detached, and partially missing. Several plastic sections are displaced or hanging, exposing the radiator and other front-end components. The grille has missing and broken sections, particularly in the center and left side. The left front headlamp area contains a broken lens and damaged surrounding components, and the headlamp assembly is not visibly intact. The left front fender is deeply crushed and sharply creased around the wheel arch and front corner, with torn and displaced exterior material. Overall, the visible damage is concentrated at the front-left corner and front fascia. The condition of mechanical, structural, cooling, steering, suspension, restraint, and electrical systems cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be checked during a physical inspection. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T, VIN 2C3CDZBTXKH661289. It is a rear-wheel-drive passenger car built in Canada, equipped with a 5.7-liter V8 gasoline engine rated at 375 horsepower. The decoded information identifies a left-hand-drive, two-door vehicle. NHTSA records list three recalls for this model year: recall 20V191000 concerns a software issue that could leave the rearview-camera image displayed after shifting out of reverse; recall 19V203000 concerns instrument-cluster software that may prevent driver warnings from illuminating properly; and recall 19V758000 concerns an incompatible front wheel and brake package that may allow front-tire contact with the steering knuckle. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Dodge dealer, particularly because of the reported front-end damage.
